Chapter 1502:

It would becone of those stories that twould transform into an amusing anecdote, shared over drinks

with knowing laughter. But in this moment, the air crackled with tension as Jayden stood before them. Was he

about to make a scene?

The room had settled into an uneasy quiet when Victor broke the silence, his pointed questions aimed at Jayden

carrying the unmistakable care for Elyse.

Like a switch had been flipped, the whole party caught his spirit. These social elites, who moments ago were

simply Pearce’s friends, suddenly transformed into Elyse’s self-appointed friend council, each eager to put

Jayden through their own careful screening.

At first, Jayden navigated their interrogation with the smooth confidence that had served him well in boardrooms.

But as the questions kept coming, relentless as waves, even his practiced composure began to crack.

Were they serious? Did they honestly think they were Elyse’s good friends?

Jayden found himself surrounded by a group of men who were questioning him without mercy. Under the heat of

their taunts and stares, he reluctantly shrugged off his jacket, feeling the pressure mounting.

Elyse, watching from the sidelines, quickly stifled a laugh behind her hand. But Victor, ever sharp-eyed, didn't let

her off the hook. “What's so funny? Think you're off the radar? Spill it—why do you like him, huh?”

Elyse blinked, caught completely off guard. Weren't they grilling Jayden? How did this spotlight suddenly land on

her?

All eyes turned to Elyse—Jayden’s included. His gaze was especially pointed, a mix of curiosity and something

like hope.

Clearing her throat, Elyse tried to buy herself a moment. “I'll need a second to figure out how to explain that to

you all.”

But Victor wasn’t letting up. He leaned in, his smirk widening. “Oh, and while we're at it—what was the deal with

your little divorce-then-rekindle saga? If you're so crazy about him, why'd you call it quits?”

Jayden raised an eyebrow, the anticipation in his eyes now dialed up to eleven.

Elyse bit her lip, thinking carefully. Finally, she said softly, “I do love Jayden. | realized it after the divorce. More

than | ever thought possible.”

Victor, relentless as ever, pressed on, “Then why leave him in the first place if you were so in love?”

Elyse’s response was cryptic but sincere. “Precisely because | loved him, | had to let go.”

The room fell silent, confusion thick in the air. If she loved him, why not stay and make it work? Was this some

kind of twisted love game? A romantic cat-and-mouse?

Elyse sighed, deciding to lay it out. “I loved him so much that | started losing sight of myself. It's fine to be in

love, but not at the cost of losing my focus. My career, my passions—they’'re part of who | am, and | couldn't just

abandon them.”

The room's reactions were mixed—spuzzled, sthoughtful, others still lost. Victor, however, seemed to

piece it together.

He turned to Jayden, a knowing look in his eyes. “So, back then, you couldn't let her be herself, huh?”
